PODCAST-We start out by diving into the reported fatal shooting that occurred on June 26, 2014 around 8:00 PM outside Nippers Bar Grille in Jacksonville Beach, Florida. The Jacksonville Beach Police Department has identified the deceased as 40-year-old Zachariah Tipton.

There is very little preliminary information at this point & it is being investigated thoroughly. Unlike other less than credible motorcycle related sources that have reported on the matter, we here at Law Abiding Biker Podcast & Media hold ourselves to a higher standard. We are different and try to be as fair and balanced as we possibly can. Unlike other sources, we are not taking sides when there is very little information to do so at this point. It would be plain ignorance to do so. Regardless of what motorcycle club the deceased and shooter may have been involved with, we will wait and follow up on this story as real information comes forth.

Here are the basics at this point until further information comes out:

It does appear that it was "bike night" at Nippers Bar Grille. Per sources, there were members of multiple motorcycle clubs wearing colors. A member of the Iron Order Motorcycle Club and a member of the Black Pistons Motorcycle Club had some sort of exchange. At some point, the Iron Order MC member shot and killed the Black Pistons MC member. The Jacksonville Beach Police Department is investigating the incident and there were apparently hundreds of others present at the event that need to be interviewed.

Per the Iron Order MC website they are a lawful motorcycle club. They specifically state that they are not 1% ers. I do have some personal experience with the Iron Order MC and they have always been friendly and respectful at motorcycle events. They do have law enforcement members, but the club is not exclusive and has members from many walks of life.

Here is a quote taken directly from the Iron Order MC website. "If you are law abiding, desire strong brotherhood and riding a motorcycle is not a solo event, maybe we are for you."

The Black Pistons make no attempt to hide the fact that they are a support (puppet) club to the Outlaws Motorcycle Club. The Outlaws MC makes no attempt to hide the fact that they are an outlaw motorcycle gang (OMG) and claim 1%. Their website looks like most other boring OMG websites with very little actual information. I have no personal experience with any Black Pistons MC club members.

Even with this information we are fair and balanced and will wait until the facts of this incident emerge! Then we can start forming an educated opinion.

So, the rest is completely speculation at this point. Beware of what sources you choose on reporting truths about this incident. If a source is already judging one side or the other without mu
